imposture

Polish translation: Oszustwo/mistyfikacja

11:37 Nov 22, 2017
English to Polish translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Religion
English term or phrase: imposture
Most important reason why the miraculous gifts were so soon withdrawn was not only that faith and holiness were well nigh lost, but that dry, formal, orthodox men began even then to ridicule whatever gifts they had not themselves, and to decry them all as either madness or imposture.
PJ999
Poland
Polish translation:Oszustwo/mistyfikacja
Explanation:
Słownik PWN Oxford:
imposture-oszustwo, mistyfikacja

Ponadto niektóre angielskie przekłady Biblii używają określenia „imposture” w Ewangelii Mateusza 27:64:

„Każ więc zabezpieczyć grób aż do trzeciego dnia, żeby przypadkiem nie przyszli jego uczniowie, nie wykradli Go i nie powiedzieli ludowi: Powstał z martwych. I będzie ostatnie oszustwo gorsze niż pierwsze.” (Biblia Tysiąclecia)

„So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first." (Weymouth New Testament)
